Let's have a pole...SS GMT2C Vs SS SUBC?

Please vote and comment.

Dan2010 · 7 February 2011, 06:29 AM

Well the Sub of course. I don't like the "Hooked on Phonics count by 2s" dial of the GMT.

neondv8 · 7 February 2011, 06:29 AM

I have to pick the sub.!

TRW · 7 February 2011, 06:33 AM

The Sub has Less Going On and Don't Care for the Bezel on the Other.

Roley · 7 February 2011, 06:38 AM

GMT hands down...brilliant watch!

gone-rolex-mad · 7 February 2011, 06:39 AM

Sub for me

HL65 · 7 February 2011, 06:40 AM

Sub for me-both quite nice though!

GradyPhilpott · 7 February 2011, 06:40 AM

They're both beautiful and fulfill two completely different functions.

If I were a diver or otherwise needed to keep track of elapsed time, the Sub would be the most beautiful.

If I were a pilot or frequent traveler, then of course, the GMTIIc would be the most beautiful.

There is nothing uglier than a watch designed to do something of no use to you when you are desperate for a given function, in my opinion, and as we all know, form does follow function.

AK40DJ50 · 7 February 2011, 06:41 AM

Like the GMT.

Both the looks and the function.

Tijssan · 7 February 2011, 06:43 AM

GMTIIC for sure - SubC is nice, but very very similar to old Sub. GMTIIC is more innovative. Really like the large font on the dial.

nauticajoe · 7 February 2011, 06:47 AM

The Sub's got my vote

dalip · 7 February 2011, 07:00 AM

In SS the sub C is a winner. I feel that about subs per se: better suited to SS.

The Gmt 2c is a brilliant design- and outstanding in TT or all gold.

RedwinGV · 7 February 2011, 07:01 AM

Well, the question was "LOOKS BEST." I still go with the GMT. The bezel of the GMT is more balanced by my eyes. And that extra shine of the GMT makes it pop a bit more too.

Of course, I've got to believe it's tough for a Sub owner to agree that a GMT looks better. I suspect that my go both ways though.

PanosI · 7 February 2011, 07:06 AM

Both look great but in the specific pic SubC looks better

www777 · 7 February 2011, 07:09 AM

They are both great but if I had to choose one it would be the sub c. imho it's the best single watch out there....

I think you're referring to the bezel vice the dial...and I agree. I've never really been a big fan of the 'updated' bezel on the GMTII...the font is just too "In Your Face" IMO and it really comes to light when you see it compared to the SubC.

Yes I'm biased, but I'll freely admit I love the dial of the GMTII...but the new bezel has always been a deal killer for me. If I were in the market for a GMT, I would have to go 'old school' and strap on a GMT coke or pepsi (aka Magnum PI style).

Yep, meant bezel. Good catch.

Sub as always!

moby33 · 7 February 2011, 07:24 AM

While the pic doesn't really demonstrate it, I also had to give my nod to the Sub due to its lack of PCLs. I know the debate has raged on in the past (and no doubt will continue in the future), but I'm of the mindset that the PCLs are just a little too dressy for a sports watch.

Rolex has the best looking brushed SS on the market in my eyes...so why not give us more of it? That's exactly what they did by keeping the SubC at its roots of all brushed. Nothing better IMO.

Hydrographer · 7 February 2011, 07:43 AM

Sub for me but they are both lookers!

Cru Jones · 7 February 2011, 07:46 AM

no contest.....sub.

don't care for the gmtii-c's bezel font, extra glossy bezel, PCLs, green 24-hour hand and text.....

esm · 7 February 2011, 08:04 AM

If I had to pick one. In SS, It'd be the GMTIIC.

In TT, it'd be the SubC black.

I don't see an issue with PCL on the GMTIIC... It is a tool watch, YES, it goes well with the glamorous job of being a pilot.....

garGARgar · 7 February 2011, 08:07 AM

I'm a Sub guy.

EchoBlueUK · 7 February 2011, 08:11 AM

Personally, I love the sub but I'm in two minds on the GMT2C. It does seem to pop more than the Sub but it also does look a bit cluttered in comparison.

Couldn't Agree More

The GMT Master · 7 February 2011, 08:55 AM

GMT by a whisker. Don't ask me why, that's just the one that draws my eye a little more. Both are gorgeous watches

I have to agree with the above comments....And given all the fake Sub's out there, even the new SS Ceramic Sub still reminds me of all the fakes. Now, in TT, to me, they are both awesome!!

mborkow · 7 February 2011, 09:20 AM

In general, I prefer the GMT...

(though the pic posted above is not the most flattering...)
